Tiny 7-metre-deep pit in the municipality of Begues, discovered and cleared in 1976 by J. Marquès of GEFOMA.

Characteristics

Location

From the avinguda de la Mediterrània in Begues, take the track heading North past the Plana de l'Alzina to can Farfai; a little further on, follow the track on the left that climbs to the pla del Sotarro. On reaching the top we find a first fork to the left that we ignore; continue 70 metres to a new fork to the left, follow it for about 130 metres and turn off 25 metres to the left of the path, where we will find the cavity. As a reference, it lies 40 metres to the NW of the centre of the doline del Sotarro.
